From Head Coach Megan Gebbia
“Tonight was a fun win. We did a great job of sharing the ball, finishing with 18 assists, as well as giving effort on the defensive end and rebounding. I liked how we got after it on the offensive glass – several players did well there. It was great to see so many players contribute as we shot the ball well. We still have areas where we can get better, and we’re excited to keep building for our next matchup on Sunday.”
